    <p>Set a score for all empty cells for a specific Gradebook item using <strong>Set Score for Empty Cells</strong> option. This is fast method of grading students that have not completed a course component.</p>
<p><em>Note: Gradebook does not include ungraded items in the course grade calculation. Empty cells could result in a higher course grade average for a student. To include a Gradebook item in the course grade calculation, you must enter a grade of zero or higher.  </em></p>
